You are one person.
One person with finite abilities.
One person with specific needs.
One person who should only take on one person’s responsibilities.
A mother needs time to be motherly.
A wife needs time to be wifely.
A worker needs time to accomplish her work.
A human being needs time to just be.
…to be quiet.
…to think.
…to dream.
…to plan.
…to refresh.
In this age of quick news, good and bad both happen fast. The good things make you want to cheer, to praise, to give money, to give attention. But you are one person, and you cannot cheer every good thing. One finite person needs to do one thing, need to trust that others will pick up the cheering, the praising, the fundraising, the attention-getting.
Since you are one person, you cannot do all the things.
You should not do all the things.
You are enough,
simply being you,
cheering when you can,
supporting when you can,
and spending your evenings being quiet,
breathing,
being,
thinking,
and dreaming.
